Stand up to cancer just like Charlie
Last year, the Dog Walking Challenge was taken on by one of our smallest supporters but biggest fundraisers.
Charlie who is 9 years old, started the challenge because his dad's best friend, Uncle Ben was diagnosed with a brain tumour, and he wanted to do something to help. Without a dog of his own, Charlie borrowed other people's dogs to take on the challenge with Uncle Ben's Labradors, Digby and Bertie, being his favourites.
Sadly, 2 weeks into the challenge Uncle Ben passed away. Suddenly the challenge took a different focus and 'it felt like we were doing it for Ben'.
Charlie ended up raising an incredible £11,500 and topping the fundraisers leaderboard. We are forever inspired by people like Charlie and his family who Stand Up To Cancer.
